Heaven, Hell, and the Devil aren't real, but God is?

Wow, that's quite a journey. Sounds like you've wrestled with some big questions, and that experience in the dark...intense. Glad you found some peace, even if it challenged your long-held beliefs.

Satan is not a third party entity imo. Satan is the ego and earthly temptation of man and the capacity to choose your own self importance over that of the universe. This means that Satan is in you, me and everyone. But there are also little angels. It just depends which you choose to feed.

I agree. But before my wife's sugar went crazy, we used to make those mug cakes in the nuker. You can buy the mix, or just mix AFC mix equal parts with any other kind of cake mix. So it is good for something.

Recipe is 3/2/1. Three TBS water (or coffee), two TBS cake mix, one minute in the nuker.
 
You can live in either a heaven or a hell realm whilst still a mortal unraptured human, that's what I believe that doesn't necessarily jive with christianity and you need to be paying attention to this life which is all you have and not any other sort of promise of reward of a binary heaven or hell system afterward, sin against "god" is one thing because we do not know god exists but sin against man is worse because we know man exists. And I believe satan or whatever it's root origin word is is actually a word that means distraction or temptation according to judaism

The Book of Revelation KJV 1611,,,,Is How God Says It Will End

John, the Greek Judean who wrote Revelation chose Megiddo for his mythical final battle because of it's location on the international road between Judea and the Northern Kingdom. (and between Egypt and Assyria) Over the centuries this is the way invading armies came, so it was a place his readers would recognize and would associate with calamity.

Here is a really good look at the digs that have gone on in the city. It was occupied from early bronze up until the Chicago dig in the first half of the 20th century. Really the only site like it that can be gotten to. (and has a special place in my heart because Pharos Tutmose III conquered the town, then wrote about it)


The gospels, especially the synoptics, are examples of some of the best classic Greek literature. You really should read a better translation than KJV.
